I stayed 2 nights at Aloft Hotel on Soi 11 Sukhumvit in August 2024 for the first time and can say I was quite impressed with the hotel. This is a relaxed, boutique style hotel in an awesome location, right in the heart of Soi 11, one of Bangkok’s busy nightlife areas. The A-Loft Hotel is 4 minute walk to Nana BTS Station, 10 minutes walk to Terminal 21 and Sukhumvit MRT or Asok BTS Station, so you can get to all corners of Bangkok really easily.

Part of the Marriott group of hotels, I booked direct via the Marrott website so I could earn stay points.

Room Quality

My room cost around 3900 Thb (A$177) per night for the basic room in August which is a fairly quiet time in Bangkok so prices were low. I booked the cheapest room which was very clean and comfortable. This side of the building there is no view. I could have paid more and got a room with a city view.

Being in the middle of a nightlife area, the rooms are actually very quiet. I was on level 25 so a fair bit above the party zone. Even during the day you can hardly hear any traffic from the street. WiFi was good quality with fast speed.

The hotel has some great facilities including a rooftop swimming pool which gets the morning sun. In the afternoon the sun is blocked by the hotel building but is still a very nice shaded area to enjoy with some friendly bar staff serving up lovely cocktails

The is a decently eqipped gymnasium next to the swimming pool.

I did not have breakfast included with my room. 1 morning I paid 490 Baht for the buffet breakfast which is a very well catered breakfast with a huge selection of breakfast goodies.

A highlight for me was the free retro video game in the lobby of the hotel. I hope my high score on Pac Man is still displaying. I had to play this each time I walked through the lobby.

While the hotel has a choice of restaurants, there are more than 20 restaurants within 2 minutes walk from the hotel. I highly recommend the burgers at BangBang and the pizza at Tony’s.

A taxi to or from the airport will cost around 400 Baht and take around 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on traffic. I got a taxi from the hotel to Bang Sue Grand Station and I asked 3 taxi drivers to go there they all asked for 500 Baht (this was at 6.30am). I finally got one to accept 400 Baht. It only took 20 minutes to get to Bang Sue. I guess early morning this is surge pricing by Bangkok Taxi.

My only complaint about this hotel is the noisy air-conditioner. There is no way I could have slept with the airconditioner running, so I would run the aircob while out to dinner and switch off when going to bed, the room did not heat up while sleeping.

Overall I really enjoyed my stay at the Aloft and looking forward to staying again.
